To the sides of the finger of this mitten are attached screw holders or sockets 7', by stitches, rivets, or otherwise and lamp bulbs b are screwed into the sockets in such manner that the tops or heads of the bulbs lie flush with the palm of the hand.

Flexible electrically conducting wires 6 insulated by means of rubber tubes ,f' and 9 lead to the bulbs Z) from a battery, accumulator or the like and thus light the lamps.

In the drawing the bulbs are held to the sides of the fingers by holders j stitched or otherwise attached to the glove.

In use the operator can pick up four eggs at once and see their state while counting them. thus saving a separate process of test ing the As the light give good illumination wherever the operator puts his hands and asa testing room is always in semi-darkness this is an added advantage, it also allovving the state of the outside of the eggs to be seen.
